The voices were so loud and powerful. They sent chills down the spines of everyone present, leaving them stunned.

People stood frozen, mouths agape, eyes wide open in disbelief. They could only stare at Richard in shock.

“He... he’s the son of a wealthy man?”

How could that be?

“Isn’t he supposed to be poor and destitute? Didn’t I hear earlier that he’s a son-in-law who only knows how to live off his wife? How could he have such a high status? Am I seeing things wrong?”

In truth, the reality before them was clear.

No. They weren’t seeing things wrong.

Richard was the man they were looking for. The man they mocked and ridiculed was actually the heir to a wealthy family with assets in the trillions.

Thud!

Richard descended the stairs, placing his hands behind his back. He stood in front of hundreds of bodyguards, who were still bowing. Unless he told them to rise, they had to remain in a respectful bow, and none dared to stand.

At this moment, even though Richard was still dressed in hi

    “I looked into the issue concerning the Nelsons family from fifteen years ago and found out that on the 18th of that time, Dharia celebrated her birthday at Citadel Hotel. There was no kidnapping whatsoever.”“So, the person you’re looking for isn’t Dharia.”The last sentence he heard was like a thunderclap to Richard. He had given up hope on the girl and decided to return to Ligos city, only to suddenly hear this news. The girl he had been searching for was apparently not Dharia. This meant he had been searching for the wrong person!“It can’t be...” Richard whispered.With a furrowed brow and a look of disbelief, he said, “At that time when I found Grandpa Nelsons, he himself said that the person was Dharia. And the date was also the 18th. The Nelsons family only had one daughter, so it’s impossible that the person wasn’t Dharia.”One thing Richard was sure of was that the girl from fifteen years ago indeed came from the Nelsons family!The head servant, noticing the change in Richa

    Richard put his phone back into his pocket. The man didn’t even look at the receptionist. He just stared fixedly at the elevator door.The receptionist felt even more convinced that Richard was just pretending to call someone earlier.With his shabby appearance, how could the man possibly know their General Manager?“Security guard!” The receptionist called two security guards not far from him and said, “Take him out of here!”Without saying much, the two security guards immediately walked with big steps towards Richard.At the same time!The door of elevator number three suddenly descended from the twenty-first floor. Richard just stood there.The two security guards who were ordered by the receptionist earlier reached out and wanted to hold Richard’ shoulders. Meanwhile, the receptionist remained standing in her position with a disdainful expression on her face at Richard.Right at this moment, the elevator had reached the tenth floor!The sixth floor!The third floor!Just as the h

    Everyone’s gaze instantly turned to Raylon. The man had just received the documents delivered by his secretary. He then handed the documents to Richard and said, “Mr. Richard, here is the data regarding Dharia’s whereabouts on her 15th birthday.”“Additionally, there are also photos from her birthday,” Raylon added.Richard busily flipped through the pages of the documents given by Raylon. He then said, “In other words, on the 18th, Dharia was never kidnapped at all. And that means she is not the girl I’ve been looking for?”“Then why did Grandpa Nelsons say that Dharia is the one I’m searching for?” Richard asked again.“Mr. Richard, I apologize in advance. But have you ever considered this? You are so honorable. You are the heir of the Dwayne family in Ligos city. Besides that, you also control the underground forces of Rio Dio Country,” Raylon said with a serious expression.“Not to mention you have other very impressive statuses. However, just based on those two points alone, who

    Elvan, who had been waiting in the Diamond Group lobby to sign a contract with Mr. Raylon, instead encountered Richard, whom he considered a parasite.Seeing the man, he felt something was missing if he hadn’t humiliated Richard yet.“Why do you look so angry? Did you get rejected from being a security guard here?” Elvan asked sarcastically. “Besides, I was kind enough to offer you a security job at my office, but you rejected it and insisted on finding a job on your own. It turns out the office you chose is Diamond Group?!” Elvan continued, ignoring Richard’s sharp gaze.“Your attitude alone is unfit for being a security guard here. At the very least, you should have formal training for the profession! And you? Did you even graduate from junior high school?” Elvan’s condescending words continued to belittle him.“Move aside! I don’t have time to entertain you!” Richard snapped coldly. Elvan’s eyes widened when he heard the man’s words.“You’d better watch your attitude now! Do you

    “What?! What did you just say?! Canceled?! How could this happen? Didn’t Mr. Raylon agree yesterday?” Carmen was shocked. The question from the woman only worsened Elvan’s already terrible mood.“It’s all because of that damn Richard! He cursed me, causing the partnership to fall through! See? It really happened!” Elvan shouted angrily.“Damn the birthday party! You all are just bad luck!” The man did not see himself as being at fault at all. He only blamed others and shifted all the burdens onto them.He did like Dharia, but compared to money, she was meaningless to him. Elvan ended the call abruptly. Meanwhile, Carmen remained silent, staring at her phone and muttering,“Elvan and Diamond Group canceled the partnership?” she whispered.“What’s going on? The Quinlan family surely won’t invest with us. Mr. Raylon won’t come to the birthday party, right?” Carmen continued with a tone of despair. The old woman’s heart shattered into pieces upon hearing the news.“Damn Richard! The man

    “You want something? I’ll give it to you right away! One thing you should know is that I never lack female company in my life. So, you’re quite lucky because you’re one of the chosen ones!” said the man.Of course, Aurora knew that someone as wealthy as Ghalen would never run out of female company. But she had never felt she was worth being valued so cheaply!“I’m sorry, Sir. I can prove myself to them with my own abilities. So, thank you for your offer, but I’m not interested. Let’s continue our discussion about the investment,” Aurora quickly declined.Ghalen’s smile vanished from his lips. With a cold expression, he said, “Are you belittling me?”“Of course not. I know Mr. Ghalen is impressive, but I’d prefer to prove my worth through my own skills. So let’s get back to our main agenda,” Aurora replied, struggling to hide her disgust towards the man.The man’s face flushed red as if he was holding back his anger. He poured a glass of alcohol and handed it to Aurora, saying, “Sure,

    A panicked baritone voice of a man could be heard from the La Nova Club lobby. The shout was so loud that Aurora, who was on the third floor, could catch the call. Her eyes widened as she looked towards the door of the room with hope.Someone was calling her name! Or was it just her imagination?“HELP! HELP ME!” Aurora shouted as loudly as she could, her voice nearly breaking.Ghalen quickly covered her mouth and face with a shirt and slapped her cheeks with all his strength. Then he yanked Aurora’s hair, forcing her head to tilt upwards.“Cheap woman! You’d better listen to what I say! If not, I’ll finish you off right now!” Ghalen threatened.“Everyone in this club is my people! Don’t expect anyone to come to your rescue!”Aurora, who had just received two hard slaps, still felt her head spinning and empty. She could feel the man’s hands starting to restrain her and trying to forcibly remove the clothes sticking to her body.“Huhuhu… Bastard! Get your filthy hands off me!” Aurora pl

    “Huh huh huh...” Aurora clung to Richard, sobbing uncontrollably, her whole-body trembling.At this moment, Ghalen struggled to get up. He then hurried to the door, turned around, and glared fiercely at them, “You cheap woman! And you too! Damn it. If you really dare, don’t even think about escaping. I will definitely kill both of you.”“I swear, you will pay dearly for what you’ve done today!”“You’ll be finished at my hands!”After shouting these lines, Ghalen ran out immediately. He hurried down to the first-floor lounge, wincing in pain from his injured, torn wrist.Under the confused gazes of everyone who saw him, he shouted loudly in the hall, “Draxen! Come here quickly.”“Bring your men and come with me to the third floor. I want that bastard and that cheap woman dead! I want them dead!”Ghalen’s voice was so loud, and the place was so quiet due to his dramatic arrival that everyone could hear him clearly.A tattooed man stood up. He slammed his fist on the table and shouted, “

Does he think he deserves an invitation to S?Tch!Richard stood where he was, his face showing indifference to everything the man before him said. He even responded to the man with, “So what about Onyx Kings? This is Rio Dio country, not your country!”“If you dare to mess around here, you won’t leave this city alive!”“Hahaha! You say I won’t survive if I mess around?” he repeated, pulling out a knife and pointing it at Ashren’s neck.“I’m so scared! Hey, Richard! I’m done with you! He’s one of your subordinates, right?!

    Velric’s sudden thought made him step back with fear-filled eyes, seeing Richard as if he were the angel of death.“Grandpa, what’s wrong?” Elysia asked, coming down from the third floor and noticing Velric’s changed expression. She rushed over and supported her grandfather, who was biting his lower lip, trying to regain his composure.He pushed aside the thought of that mysterious figure, reasoning that twenty-seven years had already passed. That person wouldn’t appear in Rio Dio country. His mind must be playing tricks on him because of his growing fears.“It’s nothing. I just remembered someone, and it caught me off guard,” Velric replied, smiling as if nothing had happened.“This Richard is really stubborn, still refusing to admit defeat. I wonder how he plans to solve today’s mess. He killed Doctor Evran in front of so many people. No one can protect him now... except me.”He spoke confidently, smirking while watching Richard from the second floor, clearly drawing attention.Velr

    Including Erni, who had been silent all this time. A cynical smile spread across her face. As if she were preparing a massive conspiracy.Meanwhile, Velric remained standing where he was—at the top of the stairs on the second floor. He watched everything unfold without making a move.Because he was waiting! Waiting for Richard to fall into despair.Waiting for Richard to come to him, begging for help.Unfortunately, what happened was far from what he expected. Because in the next moment, the words coming from Richard’s mouth would disappoint Velric. Not only that, but Richard would also leave Erni utterly shocked and render Dr. Evran speechless with astonishment.“I’m very sorry to disappoint you, Dr. Evran. The invitation card in my hand is not from Level A!”“But... from Level S!” From Level S!An eerie silence fell over the entire room, enveloping it in an instant.Level S???What kind of concept is this!

    Killed?Caspian, hearing this, looked spontaneously confused.He glanced briefly at the corpse lying in the coffin on the floor. Afterward, he looked at Richard, who was smiling faintly. Yet, he still felt confused and had no understanding. What was truly happening here?“Mr. Richard caused his patient’s death? Impossible! His medical skills are acknowledged by everyone. Perhaps there’s a misunderstanding among you,” said Caspian. The director of the central hospital had witnessed Richard’s medical skills firsthand.Before his eyes, Richard revived Ramiro.How could a genius doctor with such exceptional medical skills cause a patient’s death? There must be something wrong with this situation. However, Doctor Evran and Erni insisted that Richard was the one who caused Grandpa Susilo’s death. “Mr. Caspian, don’t be fooled by this deceiver’s appearance. Moreover, he’s already deceived people from the Dwayne family before.”“For over a decade, his deceit was only exposed later. That pro

    “I think it’s you who should quit being a doctor!”“Brothers and sisters, what do you all think?” With just those few words from Dr. Evran, all blame immediately fell on Richard. As if it was indeed Richard’ poor medical skills that caused Grandpa Susilo’s death.Even all the big bosses invited by Velric were astonished by the scene in front of them.Richard had indeed gone to treat Grandpa Susilo this morning! The fact that the man was betting with the people from the Doctors’ Association was undeniable! Everyone knew that. But they also clearly heard that Richard had successfully treated Grandpa Susilo, right? So why did the old man suddenly die? Could it really be because of Richard’s poor medical skills, causing Grandpa Susilo’s death?For a moment, all suspicious gazes were directed toward Richard. The atmosphere in the living room instantly grew tense and silent.“Heh.” Richard chuckled meaningfully.Suddenly, he raised his hand. Clap clap clap! He clapped his hands three times

    Velric was already certain that Richard had no influential connections to rely on. Therefore, he dared to utter threats toward Richard. He couldn’t believe it. Richard couldn’t be subdued. He was confident he could defeat that man. At today’s party, Velric symbolically invited some of the big bosses in Almolia City. The ultimate goal was still to seize this opportunity to draw Richard into his faction. “Doctor Richard, let me introduce myself. My name is Draymoor. Do you remember? We’ve met before. I never imagined you had such extraordinary medical skills. Even the Professor Kieran’s untreatable disease, once you intervened, was healed. Truly admirable.” A man named Draymoorwatched Richard descend from the second floor. The man’s eyes instantly lit up. He quickly brought a glass of wine to Richard and approached him. Most of the guests invited by Velric had seen Richard’s medical skills before.Immediately, everyone gathered around Richard and tried to behave kindly in front of h

    Wasn’t that Man’s side looking for Aurora? If so, Richard would help them. His method was to give them a photo of Aurora.As Ashren and Richard headed towards Velric’s residence, Zena shifted her attention from Rora to the new coach invited by the Man to join them. Since there were no photos of Aurora online, she could only begin by digging into information about this mysterious coach.“A thank-you party from Mr. Velric?” Zena murmured. “The coach invited by the boss will be there too? Great,” she exclaimed. “If I can build a good relationship with him before he comes to the base...”When Zena discovered that Richard would attend the party held by Velric, her eyes instantly sparkled. From what she had heard from the Man, the coach was incredibly powerful and skilled.Furthermore, it was highly likely his abilities were on par with the War God of Rio Dio Country. If Zena could build a good relationship with this man or climb this grand tree directly, then her future would...As she im

    Aurora Nelsons... Aurora?Zena furrowed her brows instantly. Why did the name Aurora Nelsons sound so similar to Rora—Aurora? No, that couldn’t be possible. Their last names were clearly different. “So, this task is yours. As long as you can find Aurora, we can invite that amazing person here!” The Man said, snapping Zena out of her thoughts.“When that happens, you’ll be the most valuable person here,” The Man added, patting Zena on the shoulder.The female coach looked proud to be entrusted with such an important task. She clenched her fists tightly, her face glowing with determination and confidence. She was certain she could accomplish this task. It was just about finding one woman! For Zena, it wasn’t too difficult. Moreover, the internet had made life much easier in this era. By simply searching her name online, anyone could see what Aurora Nelsons looked like. And later, it would be even easier to locate the woman.Thinking this, Zena hurried back to her coaching office.U

    Medical skills are something that every country in the world admires. If Richard had no power, no strength, and no influence, he could only submit to others.Meanwhile, on the other side, the doctors who had left the Susilo family residence still felt angry. The more they recalled the incident, the stronger the anger within them became. The angrier they felt, the more they couldn’t accept it. The two male doctors were sitting in the office of the City Doctor’s Association.They were so enraged that they pounded the table. “It’s really infuriating.”“Richard is incredible! He’s nothing more than a useless son-in-law of the Nelsons family. Who does he think he is?” “How dare he make us kneel and apologize to him? Even threatening to drive us out of the medical world? Who does he think he is? Just a discarded adopted son of the Dwayne family, still acting arrogant.” “What does he think he can fight us with?”The faces of the male doctors turned red. They wanted to stab Richard with a k
